Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make khachapuri stuffed with pickled cheese without greens? Letʼs start cooking by preparing the ingredients. Sift the flour in advance. I took cheese.

Step 2

Step 2
Add salt and soda to the flour, mix well.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour in kefir and knead the dough. I first mix in a bowl, then on a board sprinkled with flour. The dough should become dense and smooth. Letʼs leave it to rest for a while right on the table, for about 20 minutes. During this time, the gluten contained in the flour will swell and the dough will not tear when rolled out. You don’t have to cover the bun; it won’t even have time to air out.

Step 4

Step 4
In the meantime, prepare the filling. The cheese must be grated on a coarse grater.

Step 5

Step 5
After time, we divide our dough into three parts. Roll each into a small flat cake.

Step 6

Step 6
Divide the filling into three parts and roll each into a ball. Place it in the middle of the flatbread.

Step 7

Step 7
Pinch the edges of the cake towards the middle, forming a ball.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll out the ball into a circle equal to the diameter of the frying pan in which you plan to bake the khachapuri.

Step 9

Step 9
It’s better to make all the preparations at once, and only then bake. From the entire set of products I got three pieces.

Step 10

Step 10
We bake the khachapuri in a dry frying pan with a lid.

Step 11

Step 11
When one side is browned, turn it over. Fry on the other side. This takes about 3 minutes for each side.

Step 12

Step 12
Grease the hot flatbread with butter.
